League of Legends Dev Tracker

I personally enjoy the rework more because I feel that I have more agency in fights with the repeatable MS boosts from W. I also think he’s more fun because he requires a bit more active engagement (being mindful of repeated W presses to get more damage or more MS vs just toggling the old one). During development and even when the rework hit live, I’d find myself missing the toggle at times, but now I’m pretty sold, enough so that he’ll probably compete for my most played champ of the season w Cass. Oh, and I especially love how diverse his builds and rune options have become.

Hi - I'm an A Sol main and also happen to be on the balance team. :)

Aurelion Sol is a pretty unique case of a champion. Before his mini-rework, Aurelion's 'depth' ( defined here: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/11/champ-popularity-mixing-math-art/) was low enough that his high WR (generally around 53-55%) was more likely fueled by people just trying him and dropping him, than one tricks maining him. In other words, he was just strong and people who were trying out were winning a lot...because he was actually a 55% WR champ. Post-rework the amount of people maining him as gone up a bit, eno...

Lol at Tea's body language in the background: "Yikes."

Jaysen was a great man. Leading Riot efforts in Korea with high integrity and passion. It has been an honor working with him. Our prayers go to his family. Rest In Peace.

That's why OP's suggestion is cool. Flex feels like the most cooperative queue, so it might be worth looking into there.

lmao

One patch is likely not enough time to know that something can't be solved in another way besides a revert.

How better could it be formulated? I believe our higher % female player base is a stat to be celebrated!

I'm honestly super curious as well. Make a team of mechanically amazing AI's (take off the built-on constraints) and don't spend time trying to make them smarter. Let them play premade 5s ranked flex and go to town. They'd be a rare enough part of the population that you wouldn't be able to read into it on the other end. Most players would probably never know.

They'd probably end up top 10% just from forced surrenders and tilt because they'd be ABSURDLY good laners. Jungling would be hard though.

They do. Have you ever fed when you've joined one of those? It gets awkward...

I didn't mention pings at all... Huh? I said they'd be flamed and ping spammed "????"

Nicely thought out post.

I'm certainly not the person who can make the calls on voice chat, but this is still the thinking on "non-party" voice last time I checked. Maybe one day! I do like the OP's idea though, and I could at least see this being the place to trial the feature out.

Again, I don't make the calls.

It's a decision. Find my other comment for details.

1. Apologies
2. Apologies, that is true.
3. It's not.

Right, but if I mute you, our team is at a competitive disadvantage now. I'm not hearing your calls or warnings. You've felt what it's like being the solo player with 4 premades on discord in normals before, right? They never type a thing.

So, whilst I COULD mute you because you're being mean, or, I could still listen and choose not to speak, our team will be worse for it.

Oh? I actually didn't know that. I stand corrected on that one.

If you want to look at something that's decided more by algorithm than by random, one possible set of questions you could answer is:

"How does champion popularity (pick-rate) correlate with the type of skins that are released for that champion (1350, 1820, Prestige, Hextech, etc.)? Given this correlation, can you create the pool of champions you believe are likely to receive each of those types of skins in 2020?"

There's a ton of cool info you could take a look at if you're familiar with using the Riot Games API, but the above questions you can probably answer without it.

1. Those games are short, and you're not "trapped" with teammates you don't want to play with.

2. Neither games are snowbally: you can't "feed" the enemy McCree.

3. I'm not sure about Overwatch, but I imagine League has a higher % of female players than CS:GO. Plenty of our female players like to be anonymous and just get on with the game. I know my wife prefers it that way.

That's likely never going to happen for good reasons. Players who won't/don't want to use voice chat will immediately become a disadvantage to their team. Then, they'll be flamed and spam pinged for this, further confirming that, yes, they should stay off of voice chat forever.

That's... actually not a bad idea. At all.
